Defensive MVP/Fantasy points I've taken the posted stats and assigned points to give the top players a score based on fantasy football type scoring. Several teams are missing a week of Stats, so the numbers could be slightly higher for players from Hawks, Rev, Shock and Trojans.
Here is the formula used: Tackle - 1 pt, TFL - 2 pts, Sack - 3 pts, Pass Def - 1, Fumble Force and Rec - 2 pts, Block Kick - 3 pts, Int - 4 pts, Safety - 3 pts, TD return - 6 pts. I used the same weighting last year and it seems pretty accurate.
The results: Player Team pts
B Hebdon Vipers 105.5 C Williams Wildcats 101.5 J Larson Wildcats 88.5 D Glenn Trojans 81 B Stacy Vipers 77 Dave Bishoff Lions 76 Swan Trojans 73 B Thompson Lions 71.5 A Thompson Sting 59.5 McKenzie Rev 58.5 Laumua Shock 52
I included the top point earners, generally players on teams not in the playoffs are not considered for MVP, but I put the top players anyway. Obviously there is much more to the MVP than just stats and the top stat guy is seldom the MVP. But hopefully it will get some conversation going.
